TORONTO, June 26, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The homosexual activist lawyer who forced a Catholic school in Oshawa to allow a homosexual prom date will soon be sworn in as a member of the Ontario Superior Court.  The appointment of Mr. David Corbett, a well-known homosexual activist, has earned the federal Liberal government the dubious distinction of appointing the first “openly gay” judge to a superior court bench.  Judge Corbett has, among other things, been a member of the “Foundation for Equal Families,” a homosexual activist group which pursues court challenges. He has been involved in numerous cases concerning homosexual rights […]

WASHINGTON, June 25, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The Republican majority in the U.S. Senate Rules and Administration Committee has passed a measure to move towards overriding prolonged Democratic filibustering of President Bush’s judicial nominations.  Under the measure, which now moves to the Senate floor where it faces a slim chance of passing, the majority required to approve a judicial nominee would decline in successive roll calls. Usually, a majority of 60 is required. But if Democratic filibustering persists, the required number would drop first from 60 to 57, then down to 54 and eventually to a simple majority of 51, as […]

TORONTO, June 26, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – With an election call looming, the PC government of Ernie Eves has restored the full value of the Equity in Education Tax Credit, enabling more middle income parents to afford the kind of schooling their children deserve. The credit, crafted by then-finance minister Jim Flaherty two years ago, will rise to 20% of tuition per child in 2003 and to 50% by 2006, for a maximum of $3,500 per pupil. It stands to benefit most the middle income families of 100,000 pupils in Ontario’s 733 private schools.  Liberal Leader Dalton McGuinty again vowed that […]

LOS ANGELES, June 25, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The family of a woman who bled to death after an abortion at Planned Parenthood is suing the abortion clinic and abortionist Mark Maltzer for the wrongful death.  Diana Lopez, 25, bled to death after her 19 week old baby in utero was aborted in February 2002.  A state report on the death said her cervix was punctured during the abortion causing uncontrollable bleeding.  The lawsuit says the abortionist, Maltzer, “worked so quickly, recklessly and negligently pulling out sharp body parts of Diana Lopez’ 19-20 week-old unborn infant that severe, irreparable damage was […]

Wellington, New Zealand, Jun. 25 (CWNews.com/LifeSiteNews.com) – New Zealand’s Parliament on Wednesday passed a law decriminalizing prostitution despite efforts by pro-family and faith-based groups. The Prostitution Reform Bill passed by a single vote after lawmakers were allowed a conscience vote that allowed them to choose for themselves rather than along party lines. The new law legalizes solicitation of prostitution for adults over 18. It also decriminalizes “pimping,” owning a brothel, and the earning of a living off of a prostitute. Prostitutes will now be covered by employment and health laws and brothels will have to be licensed. Critics of the […]

EDMONTON, June 24, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Alberta Report newsmagazine which later became known as Report and finally Citizen Centre’s Report, has ceased publication.  The magazine, founded by Ted and Virginia Byfield, was legend in Canada as the sole mainstream secular publication with a social conservative outlook.  Social conservatives will miss the glossy, front-page and coverage of news from a pro-life and pro-family perspective. Link Byfield, who took over the magazine from his father, told LifeSite today that “especially for pro-life people it is a blow, I think we had a very useful function.  So that’s a shame.”“But,” he said, “they […]
